A positive charge of 91 is located 5.11 m to the left of a negative charge 92. The
charges have different magnitudes. On the line through the charges, the net
electric field is zero at a spot 2.90 m to the right of the negative charge. On this
line there are also two spots where the potential is zero. (a) How far to the left of
the negative charge is one spot? (b) How far to the right of the negative charge is
the other?
A charge of -3.99 μC is fixed in place. From a horizontal distance of 0.0423 m, a
